A Correct answer
Explanation

If a customer has bought a new insurance policy and received the policy document, and then finds that the terms and conditions are not what he wanted, then he/she can return it and get a refund. IRDAI has built into its regulations a consumer-friendly provision that takes care this problem. Also, the customer must exercise this right within 15 days of receiving the policy document and he/she has to communicate the same to the insurer in writing.
